Abstract
The invention is to a wind charging system for an automobile which includes a wind driven turbine blade that is attached to a plurality of alternators by a gearing system. The gearing system includes a large gear driving a plurality of small gears, each attached to an alternator. The system is mounted in a single frame that mount in the engine compartment of a standard automobile.
Claims18
A wind charging system mounted in a standard automobile in the engine compartment for charging a plurality of batteries of an electrical powered vehicle, comprising:
- a single mounting frame;
- a wind driven rotation device mounted on a shaft in said frame;
- a plurality of automotive alternators mounted on said frame;
- a first gear attached to the shaft on a first side of said wind driven rotation device;
- a second gear attached to the shaft on a second side of said wind driven rotation device;
- a first plurality of small gears, one each attached to an alternator and in mesh with said first gear;
- and
- a second plurality of small gears, one each attached to an alternator and in mesh with said second gear;
- whereby said wind rotation device turns said alternators through said first and second gears and said small gears to supply charging power to said plurality of batteries.
A wind charging system mounted in a standard automobile in the engine compartment for charging a plurality of batteries of an electrical powered vehicle at slow speeds, extending the driving range of the electrical powered vehicle, comprising:
- a single mounting frame;
- a wind turbine rotatably mounted on a shaft in said single frame;
- a plurality of automotive alternators mounted on said single frame;
- a first gear attached to said shaft on a first side of and rotated by said wind turbine;
- a second gear attached to said shaft on a second side of and rotated by said wind turbine;
- a first plurality of small gears, one each attached to an alternator and in mesh with said first gear;
- and
- a second plurality of small gears, one each attached to an alternator in mesh with said second fear;
- whereby said wind turbine turns said alternators through said first and second gears and said small gears to supply charging power to said plurality of batteries.
A wind charging system mounted in a standard automobile in the engine compartment for charging a plurality of batteries of an electrical powered vehicle at slow speeds, extending the driving range of the electrical powered vehicle, comprising:
- a single mounting frame;
- a wind driven multi-lobe blade mounted on a single shaft forward of said single frame;
- a plurality of automotive alternators mounted on said single frame behind said blade;
- a first gear attached to said single shaft;
- and
- a plurality o small gears, one each attached to an alternator and in mesh with said first gear;
- whereby said wind driven blade turns said alternators through said first gear and said small gears to supply charging power to said plurality of batteries.
